'Textbook War Crime': Critics Slam Pete Hegseth For 'Outright Murder' After Shock Report

We know who’s on them, who they are, where they’re coming from, what they have on them,” Rubio said last month.Hegseth on Friday called the Post report “fabricated, inflammatory, and derogatory” and said the “declared intent is to stop lethal drugs, destroy narco-boats, and kill the narco-terrorists.” He did not challenge the specifics of the Post report but insisted that the operation is “lawful under both US and international law.” Critics disagreed, firing back on X:If true, this is heinous and illegal. You do not kill helpless survivors of a sinking boat. (It enraged us when, for example, the Japanese would machine-gun American survivors in the water.)You do not kill someone who is hors de combat, and no quarter orders are flatly illegal. https://t.co/lhaL89s650— David French (@DavidAFrench) November 28, 2025This would be a war crime even if there were an actual war and these people were actual combatants, which there isn't and they weren't.It's unquestionably an unlawful homicide under any form of law you wish to apply: military or civilian, domestic or international, federal or… https://t.co/sgJ2VjDijk— George Conway (@gtconway3d) November 28, 2025If the factual account is correct, how can the second strike be defended? (You are welcome to assume, if you wish, that the first strike was lawful. FWIW, I'm doubtful that assumption is sound.)There is plenty of reason to be concerned about the possibility of illegal orders. https://t.co/qRM6uAMmGk— Ed Whelan (@EdWhelanEPPC) November 28, 2025Secretary of War Crimes. https://t.co/OKnp0owB6z— Justin Amash (@justinamash) November 28, 2025This appears to be outright murder; an order to kill injured people who were not posing a single threat to anyone.

This demands Congressional investigation, and the unredacted video of the strike and radio recordings of the orders given need to be shared with Congress and the American people immediately. https://t.co/l0Q2M7XMSg— Congressman Eugene Vindman (@RepVindman) November 29, 2025Article 3 and 12 of the Geneva Convention violations, it is so beyond clear. Southcom’s top lawyer said it was illegal and you overruled him. If you’re so confident, declassify the OLC opinion, and tell us which cartels we’re in an “armed conflict” with. Why hide this info?— John Jackson (@hissgoescobra) November 28, 2025.@SecWar gave an illegal order, and all who followed it must be answerable.Every member of the gov’t, including the military, has an independent obligation to the Constitution, laws, and his sworn oath.Since at least 1804, an officer follows illegal orders at his own peril: https://t.co/iKQHaa41oFpic.twitter.com/i3kcPz1QeK— Patrick Jaicomo (@pjaicomo) November 28, 2025So this is either: felony murder if we are not a war or a war crime if we were at war.

People Who’ve Lost A Spouse Say These Moments Feel The Loneliest

Grief is a painful and uncontrollable process that eventually sneaks up on everyone. If you lose a spouse, your entire world is upended. Your traditions and responsibilities change, and you can be thrown into a state of constant struggle.“The time after something like that … is just so foggy and thick and heavy. And you’re just in this combination between shock and total survival mode, especially with young kids,” said Tiffany Rampey, who was 37 when she lost her 39-year-old husband, Mike.At the time of his death, her children were just five and seven. Almost three years later, she captures her family’s moments of grief, as well as their travels around the world, on her @rebuilding.joy Instagram account.According to people who've lost a spouse, the hardest days can come all throughout the year — not just immediately before or after the funeral.Your day-to-day living is forever altered, added Carolyn Williams. Her husband, John, died nearly three years ago as well, leaving behind children who were then 24, 26 and 38. Williams and her friend Dawn Allen run the podcast We Grieve Differently, which aims to support people after a loss.The time before the funeral is the easy part, Williams said, as you’re busy planning and spending time with family. “It’s when the funeral’s over, and everybody’s gone home and the calls have stopped ... [that] you realise, ‘Damn, this **** is real,’” Williams added.HuffPost spoke with readers to understand what grief feels like for those who’ve lost a spouse, along with the most difficult times after the death of a partner.The evenings are hard“The loneliest times for me were driving home from work and knowing he wasn’t going to be there,” said Anna Fadel. Her 56-year-old husband, Ed, died four years ago, when their daughters were all college-age.Rampey added that she would experience loneliness in the evenings too, after putting her young kids to bed.“I was used to then settling down with my husband and watching something or talking through the day,” she said.Dinnertime, in particular, can be tough“It took me about a year to do dinner because dinner was just freaking depressing,” Williams said. “[To] just go in the kitchen and try to cook a meal by myself — that wasn’t happening.”Williams said she went out to eat a lot so she didn’t have to prepare food alone in her condo. She added that she also experienced loneliness each Friday, which had previously been a date night with her husband.“That first Friday night when I had to leave work, I called my girlfriend and said, ‘I can’t go home,’” she said.For a good three months, Williams and her friends would go out for happy hour on Fridays. When they couldn’t make it, she’d still go to avoid the loneliness of her home.“[It] took me a long time to get into a new routine of going home,” she said.The weekends can also feel long and emptyThough many people look forward to the break from work and responsibilities that the weekend offers, people who’ve lost a spouse say their days off can also be some of the loneliest.“Weekends were always a difficult time as far feeling lonely, particularly in the mornings,” said Fadel, who had previously spent those moments with her husband.“Sitting on the couch, he’d be drinking his coffee, [and] I’d be drinking my tea,” she added. “I miss those times.”Rampey noted that weekends were hard for a long period after her husband died. “On the weekend, and especially once you start getting out and seeing other families, it’s like, ‘Oh, weekends are for families and making pancakes in the morning,’” she said.“The weekends are still challenging for me because that’s really when we would do things together,” Williams said, adding that she’d spend those days going out to eat or listening to live jazz with her husband.Some days and events can be more painful than others. Adjusting to doing it all, including tasks that used to be done by your spouse, is difficult“The biggest things for me … that would really trigger the hard, hard stuff was just a sense of overwhelm,” Rampey said. She became the sole parent of two young children, worked as a classroom teacher, and had to keep up the house and manage the finances — all while grieving.“It’s just a lot. It’s not a job for one person,” Rampey said. “To be a solo parent, where you don’t have any built-in breaks, is another level of challenging.”Allen, the co-host of “We Grieve Differently,” said it was difficult to figure out her family’s new routine without her husband, Ashton. He died in 2022, when her sons were eight and 13. Then, everything was on her, including the tasks that were previously done by Ashton, like making meals for the family.“After the food donations go away and meal train goes away — ‘OK, I gotta feed the kids, and we can’t keep eating out,’” Allen said.Kania Eustache Lebon — who was separated from her husband, Jean, when he died in March 2022 — added that it’s hard to realise you don’t have that backup anymore. Her kids were 19 and 15 at the time of Jean’s death.“This was your person ... my person for the kids, my voice of reason,” Eustache Lebon said.Big life moments are hard, tooBeyond the adjustment to a new day-to-day, the big moments in life are tough as well.“The hardest day was my son graduating high school, because as soon we found out I was pregnant with my son, [my husband] was like, ‘I can’t wait for the day he graduates high school’ — and he wasn’t even there,” Eustache Lebon said. “It was just the weirdest, weirdest, weirdest day,” she added, noting that while she felt happy to see her son graduate, she was also mad and sad that her husband wasn’t with them.Allen said she and her sons have treated big days differently since her husband died 11 months ago.“Father’s Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas — we were away from our house for every holiday,” she said.But grief does change with time“Something I needed to hear when I was early in grief is that it wasn’t going to be so excruciating and impossible forever,” Rampey said. “Because it’s really hard — this is thrust upon you, [and] you feel like ‘this is my new reality.’”With the three-year anniversary of her husband’s death approaching in May, she said her grief has eased up and feels less daunting. “That being said, I’m a totally different person than I was before my husband died, and I am still doing a ton of work to rebuild my life and actively seek joy,” she noted.“This is a long game of being a widow and grieving. But the pain isn’t quite as acute as it used to be, and I have been able to find a ton of joy again in life. And I’m really thankful for the people who have helped me do that.”Related...I'm A Grief Expert, These Are 6 Actually Useful Ways To Help Somebody Who Is GrievingMy Wife Of 52 Years Just Died.
